New Far Cry 3 trailer confirms September 7 release

Ubisoft has officially released a new trailer for first person shooter Far Cry 3, revealing the game’s UK release date but not any new gameplay footage.

Far Cry 3 – where does he find all that hair gel in the jungle?

A new cinematic trailer for Far Cry 3 has now been officially released (after leaking earlier in the day via a German website), giving the first new look at the game since its debut at E3 last June.There’s no gameplay in the video though, just another pre-rendered trailer that shows a group of tourists frolicking on an idyllic-looking island – before being captured and killed by bad guys (well, they did seem very annoying).The trailer lists a September 7 release date for the UK on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.Being pre-rendered and all the trailer doesn’t really tell us anything new about the game, although it does look much closer to the original Far Cry (which was by Crysis creators Crytek) than the controversial second game (by Ubisoft Montreal, who are also working on this new sequel).Exactly how open world the new game will be is still not clear, but it’s certainly implied to feature a similar sandbox style approach to the previous games – with non-linear progression.We assume the guy with the annoying hair, running away at the end of the trailer is protagonist Jason Brody. The bad guy is certainly Vaas – the same fruit cake enemy leader seen in the E3 footage.In the trailer you can hear him discussing selling Brody’s girlfriend, the prevention of which will be one of your primary goals in the game, beyond just escaping the island.Video:Check out the Far Cry 3 trailer (warning: super sweary)
